Australian English dictionary support for Google Chrome, Firefox and Thunderbird

A number of people ask me about the dictionary files I produced for open source projects. To clarify the situation, I no longer support open source projects. I found the projects simply took my work and gave nothing back.

Firefox for example took my work, changed the licence against my wishes and then now takes donations leading people to believe they've put the work in. Google just took my work and incorporated it into their Google Chrome Browser and gave nothing back.

As a result I no longer support open source projects. Each of these projects and many others could have equally linked to my site as I made the files available. That would have helped both of us to grow. Instead by taking the work of others when it isn't necessary, they build their own projects at the expense of others.

I'm interest in working with people where we help each other.

I now only provide my work to clients. It is only with the support of clients I can support my family.

Thank you to the clients who support me and appreciate the value I bring to their homes and businesses.

For the past 12 years my interest has been to determine the preferred Australian English spelling of words and provide tools to remove the non-preferred spelling variations in commonly used spellcheckers.

Secondary spelling variations are considered wrong by most people. Multiple ways to spell a word can lead to different spellings of words in documents and this is always incorrect.

The products available have been developed over many years and are not available from anywhere else. Use the menus above to visit the section of the site for your software.
